Hi Judy,

I bought this at vitaminshoppe.com through internet. Price was

reasonable and delivery was good too.

Ah, good point. I'll keep going through this rotation and see how it goes.

Oregano is high phenol. I believe the oil would be a concentrate, so

it would be higher.

Here's my experience with GSE. Yes, I feel it does kill off the good

bacteria, BUT it also does a number on yeast better than anything else I've

found so

far. So what I do is when my son acts yeasty (hyper, goofy, spacy, constipated)

I give him 2 drops of GSE 2-3 days in a row. On those same days, but hours

after the GSE, I give him extra probiotics. I feel this is keeping his yeast at

bay and also maintaining his good bacteria.

Good luck,

Debbie

Hi ,

Have you ever had some of the oil get on your hand?? It

BURNS!!!! I would definitely not give it to him directly as he

could get a sore in his mouth. I don't know why you have to give

five drops. We used only two drops in a capsule for our 56 pound, 9

year old son and it worked fine. Maybe you could try something else

besides oil of Oregano. How about some GrapeFruit Seed extract (2

drops) in some juice? There are also other antifungals besides OoO

and GSE, so maybe you could try those. Sorry I can't be more

helpful. Take care, Becky in Chesapeake, VA

Do you mean grapefruit seed extract or grape seed extract? I didn't

think grape seed extract was a yeast fighter--is it?

Hi and thanks for your responses on this!

I have a quesiton. I was told that Grapefruit Seed Extract also

kills the " good " bacteria and have not considered it for this

reason. We are taking Acidolphus but I was still warned that GSE

could seriously get us into worse shape than we are now. So.. have

some of you used it succesfully and did you have any problems? Did

you give something with it and if so, what? How can you tell if it

is causing the " good " bacteria to be killed off too?

Sorry for all the questions. My little boy is SOOO young now

and I am a bit paranoid I guess about putting things into him since

he can't tell me how he is feeling yet. Thanks again!

Have a blessed week!

We've found putting a drop in an empty Houston enzyme capsule to work well for

the Oil of Oregano.

Oil of Oregano

I'm getting ready to start OoO with my son. I'm wondering if you have to put

the drops in a capsule...would they burn going down the throat if you didn't?

I've just been reading Dr. Shaw's book, Biological Treatments for Autism and

PDD. I read through it quickly and am going back through it again and taking

notes. From my brief overview, it seems that after you stop antifungal

treatment, the yeast comes right back again due to certain immune dysfunction

or

that the yeast is so firmly embedded in parts of the intestinal tract. Has

anyone successfully completed treatment for a long term and seen long lasting

results or should I anticipate having to treat for yeast for an indefinite

time?

Thanks for all your help,

Sharon K.

Tina,

Solaray makes it in a gel cap. I just use one gel cap. I don't know

how much more you could use. My son is in that weight range.

[Guest guest]

then you may want to buy the caps already made. This is a great price on this

site

I usually buy it on sale for $22.00 regularly $30.00 at my local HFS

Hi Tina,

We use Oreganol. Their website is helpful in terms of dosing.

www.oreganol.com

I spoke with the company re: dosing for yeast/bacteria for my 8 y.o. 50 lb.

son,

and was told I could dose at 2-3 drops 3x a day up to 3 weeks. They also

recommended keeping up with the probiotics during that period. Oregano oil is

phenolic and my son cannot take it without a no-fenol enzyme to counteract that

effect, (which for him is increased hyperactivity, irritability). Since

die-off symptoms and phenolic overload symptoms appear to overlap (or at least

in

my house , I wonder if it could be both things you are seeing ? Maybe

dividing the 7 drops out (I know it tastes horrible) would have a more gentle

effect

for him? This is powerful stuff!

Best Wishes,

Patty

My 8 year old granddaughter gets 3 drops under the tongue three to four

times a day when needed.

remembered that Geoff had mentioned giving oil of oregano to his kids. Or

at least that's what this overloaded mind of mine remembers. I have some in

and how often it should be given to a child? He's 8. Thanks and I hope

Oil of oregano is high phenol. Try giving it in the capsule, along

with some No-Fenol enzyme, see if that helps.

We just rub 4 drops on each foot at night, then put a sock on. Simple, easy,

and just as effective. He actually asks for his night time 'foot rubs'.

Oil of Oregano

Are there any particular tricks to giving OoO? I've been putting a

couple of drops in a capsule along with a tad of olive oil, but that

seems too phenolic. Other ideas are most welcome.

[Guest guest]

The oil of oregeno works as an internal yeast treatment By putting it on the

skin? That's what you meant by effective? you are treating yeast issues with it

and not athletes foot or something? Wow, I have never heard that before. That

may save me from the guiltiest minute and a half of my day

[Guest guest]

I don't fully understand how it works, but it really and truly does. It was

recommended to us by Dorfman, a nutritionist. When we went to see Dr.

Compart (DAN) she hadn't heard of it and asked her pharmacist. He quickly

agreed that it does work transdermally. Whenever I see the red ring on his

butt, I know it's time for a month of OoO at night. And, he really enjoys his

nightly foot tickle. When we're not treating for yeast, I often rub his feet

with lotion, just to keep up the routine. Give it a try, I'd love to hear that

it works for others, and is so much less traumatic than trying to ingest it

somehow!

Hi ,

I want to thank you for the reminder that you can use OoO transdermally. My

daughter's yeast flared yesterday during her first round of chelation. We

increased her probiotic and applied the OoO to her feet. Today was

absolutely wonderful. Must say that we've increased the probiotic in the past,

but have never seen such a quick resolution to the yeast. Must be the OoO.

Thanks!

I too wanted to thank you for bringing this up. I have been trying to

incoroprate ooo into our yeast fighting system, and it makes my son gag and run

the other way when he tastes it. I look forward to trying it this way Thanks

The one we are using now is the store brand from the Vitamin Shop. I like it

since it comes with a dropper so it's easy to use. It doesn't smell as strong

as the last one we used, but does seem to be effective.
